I just returned from a 5 day mini-break at the W Hotel and would definitely return. I have been visiting South Beach for 16 years and this hotel is my favourite all round package (style, staff, rooms, ambiance, attitude, service). The rooms are fantastic (remember to ask for south facing), the pool is chilled chic 24/7 with great service at the pool bar. The Dutch restaurant serves a mean breakfast and the concierge service is excellent and well organised.

Room Tip: Ask for South side.. Better views.

Going to South Beach Miami, you must stay at this fabulous Hotel. Positioned on South Beach, there is plenty to see nearby but, why leave the hotel!. We had a fantastic room that was fitted with the latest digital audio and TVs. We had a microwave and coffee machine.

The Bathroom is fab with a Jacuzzi and separate shower. Maid service was first class. Facilities were excellent. WiFi also. A great stop for us before our Cruise to the Caribbean.

Will stay here again.

First off. This is one of the most beautiful hotels I've ever stayed at. From the pool to the ridiculously gorgeous room which was HUGE! We stayed at a fabulous suite. I have no words for this room other than STAY IN IT lol. Only downside is that it is on a low floor (the 3rd floor which is the first floor that rooms start on). Other than that the private balcony was huge with two comfortable reclined beach chairs and a nice view of the blue sky if it isn't raining (You don't get the beach chairs on the higher floors). There was a hot tub with two vanities and 3 shower heads. Two TV's=cool. So you get the picture, it's like one of the most awesome ikea rooms you've ever seen lol.

NOW overall... This is an UPSCALE hotel which means be ready to open your wallet as soon as you get to the front door. The drinks are super expensive with a 21% service tip and local AND state taxes added to your tab on TOP of the tip for the bartender. 2 mimosas=$50 cha-ching! There are towel boys who set up your poolside chairs and a bellman who bring your luggage to your room and guess what? tip tip tip. Luckily there is a Walgreens or a CVS (I forgot) across the street where you can buy essentials and a cheap bottle of wine if you just want to stay in and enjoy the room and pool. BOTTOM LINE: BEAUTIFUL property. Expensive. Not close to anything. If you got the money kudos! Enjoy! If you don't, there are STILL ways to enjoy this hotel without murdering your wallet. Safe trips everyone!

Simply put this is the best hotel in Miami. From the valet to the concierge everybody was courteous, polite and did a superb job. I have simply no complaints whatsoever about the W and its staff. First of all Maria Pena our whatever/whenever agent did a tremendous job. From staging the room, to restaurant reservations and personalized attention, she made our stay very special and she was absolutely perfect. We felt we were guests at her place. She was absolutely wonderful. Secondly, the attention to details that was put in the decor is very noticeable and the unobstructed ocean views from the 18th floor are breathtaking. Finally, it took us literally 5 minutes from the valet parking to the room. Everything was flawless; it just seems that the entire staff is dedicating to providing excellent guest services. The Dutch and Mr. Chow are right on the premises and they are both excellent upscale choices. So on top of everything else, you also have places that you can enjoy without having to leave the hotel. Ask for Maria when you stay here, she will make your stay a perfect one.

My boyfriend and I live in Miami but decided to 'getaway' for the night. I am a Platinum member and called to inquire about which room to book (there are many options), asked to have a special dinner arranged (we changed our minds a few times), and have a romantic champagne/chocolates/snack set-up in the room. The hotel was incredible, room very swanky...But Clifford Booker made the entire experience memorable.

Having recently moved to NYC we were after a weekend getaway and to celebrate my wife's birthday we took a trip to Miami. I am a fan of the W Hotels so naturally the W South Beach was my first choice. The hotel itself is fantastic, the service is top notch and the location is amazing. The only thing that is not so good is the price of food/drink and additions. 2 cocktails will set you back $45 or umbrella hire on the beach is $15. I guess it is South Beach :). Having said that to food is top notch, we went to the Dutch for dinner and enjoyed it. All said, we will be back.

This hotel is where it's at in south beach. From the moment we got there the party began. The concierge was able to recommend a great club, Mansion and even got us on the guest list. During the day the pool scene is great, lots of hot guys. I will definenetly return
